Joy Division Reworked is an audio-visual performance that pays homage to one of the worlds most progressive bands, taking audiences on a trip into a dismantled, electrified, and orchestrated world inspired by the music of Ian Curtis.

Based on the music of Joy Division, the work was reinterpreted by Scanner and Heritage Orchestra with visuals by Matt Watkins.

After almost a decade of requests, it's a joy to finally share this full performance online, albeit in rather low budget quality, but unfortunately it's all that is available.
